Marshall County Career Innovation Center

What Marshall County Career Innovation Center does

MCCIC is a nonprofit career and technical education (CTE) center headquartered in Plymouth, Indiana, operating as the training arm of the Marshall County Lifelong Learning Network. It delivers three integrated lines of service: Career & Technical Education for high school students (15 active program pathways including Aviation Management, CCMA, Construction Trades, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education, EMT, Fire and Rescue, Health Careers, Industry 4.0/Engineering, Precision Machining, Veterinary Science, Welding Technology, and the new Entrepreneurship and Automotive programs for 2025-2026), Adult Education (GED preparation, ESL, and industry certifications such as HVAC, NIMS, and Welding), and Workforce Talent Development serving local employers. Programs are delivered through ~25,000 sq ft of shared-use physical infrastructure across the Plymouth High School campus, the Lincoln Education Center, the PCSC Service Center, and satellite locations throughout Marshall County, with the North Central CTE Cooperative extending reach into 10 member schools across four counties.

The underlying technology is essentially physical facilities plus instructor-led certification pathways; MCCIC is not a software company and operates with a Wix-hosted web presence rather than a proprietary platform. Articulation agreements with Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue Polytechnic Institute enable post-secondary credit-bearing pathways, and partnerships with the Purdue University Manufacturing Extension Partnership and the Northern Indiana Workforce Board support employer training delivery.

MCCIC's business model is that of a community-supported nonprofit rather than a commercial entity. Revenue is assembled from government grants (READI Grant $1.75M), county and municipal appropriations (Marshall County Council $1.5M, City of Plymouth $600K), school corporation support (Plymouth Community School Corporation $1.8M), foundation grants (Marshall County Community Foundation $1M+, Lilly Endowment match opportunity up to $150K), and individual/corporate donations through a Capital Campaign with a $2.5M goal. Naming rights are structured as multi-year pledges of $50,000-$500,000. Pricing for programs is not publicly disclosed because services are largely funded or free to participants; employer-paid workforce training is the closest analog to commercial revenue but specific contract values are not disclosed. Operating governance is provided by the Marshall County Lifelong Learning Network Board, and operational scale is modest at 11-50 employees serving 400+ enrolled CTE students with 13+ shared programs and growing applicant demand.
